Tech
support comes easily
At the desk you're royalty
Patented
monopoly
You're the star on the Christmas tree

You're
the happening Monday
You're the star of the happening Monday

Bet's
Toll!

It's
the black box in a plane
A beta record of the game
The
commisar's report of the firing lane
Tabloids log the ways of
fame

Scribing
Legacy

"Two
words! Caught on a box
trade marked and blocked
from this
song
sounds wrong
but rymes with "Bet's toll!"

Carter
moonshots off "Wild Thing"
Phili hearts pang
Tanks rule at
Kursk first
And ready for the worst
Bet's Toll! To Berlin!

Teen
idols cross the street
Reporters they treat with
"No comment"
on that box in the plane, or when-or-where it might rain.

Beat
and it's Legal

Beat
Beat beat beatB-beat it all
Turning all on it's
head
Caw-caw-caw
Con artistry
Law degree hangs
smartly
Crooked partly on the wall
Crooked, quote me on that
My
calling card the rat
Your doctor playing God?
Then let us play
Satan, you see?

It's
all legal
With my law degree

Check
my pocket, left
With that expert witness,
it's not really
theft

Man
from Dakota has your name
You were born first:
It's yours to
claim

What
comes next?
You read my mail of dirty text
Where did the
passion go?

When
I answer, does my face glow?
You stalked me in the French row

Out
to port
My secret's been cut short
A snide remark, a mean
retort
"Why hang with this sort?"

Where
did the passion go?

She
never thought I could be so low
"Honey! Darling! My fidelity may
look defective-
Please see from my perspective
All I am's a
moonlight detective!"

Is
that where the passion goes?
Chasing skipping Joes?
Thank you
God, he ain't chasin' –ah- you knows-
Designated Lovers

He's
like a cop chasin' mean Sons-of-mothers
With the façade
of a dealing cover.
The passion's here on the street
Come
join me on da beat

Once
again we'll have da passion
No want, no sarin' no ration

Passion's
back, passion's back, passion's back…

PROTECT
AND SWERVE

The
officer chased crime a little late
Unwound in a tavern that same
date

Wife
Claudia called 'bout their son, Jake
Impaled himself by garden
rake

He
rushed off past four rounds of beer
Uncertainly, the car he
steered
Reflexes shot, he could not veer
A family van he dinged
the rear
Air bags deployed - shielded cargo dear
But passenger
husband was thrown clear
Driver wife, neck whiplashed severe
